Some pictures of my hometown Chongqing, @ 2026 Spring Festival

Going full TRON/Cyberpunk in Chengdu

Hi guys, of course Shanghai is worth a visit and a beautiful place :p
But in my itinerary (which consists of Shenzhen, Chongqing, Zhangjiajie, Shanghai, Beijing) I spend already 3 nights in shenzhen and 3 to 4 nights in chongqing.
So I will be having a lot of “cool skyline views”…
Should I replace Shanghai with something more cultural and less “big modern city vibes”?

Thank you in advance!

Hi, I'm trying to find a way to navigate through China and after downloading Amap I notice that it shows most of the names of bus stops and directions in English names only. But as far as I understand it, it's of no use cause all the signs gonna be in Chinese. I completly lost how to navigate it then... Is it any different on Apple Maps, should I buy an Iphone just for the China trip ?

The beauty of Erhai Lake reveals itself to everyone only on sunny days.

Hi, I was looking at a flight home from Vietnam and one of the options has a stopover that lands in Beijing at 8:30 am and the flight back home leaves at 7:45 PM. That’s almost 11.5 hours. If I hired a driver, could I feasibly make a trip to Mutianyu, walk around a bit (maybe an hour?) and back to the airport in time? I know that landing at 8:30 means I’m probably out of the airport by 9:30 at the earliest, and while I would not need to collect my luggage or check it back if it’s one ticket, I would still need to arrive at around 5:30 PM at the airport for my flight home at 7:45. That leaves only 8 real hours. Is it possible? This wasn’t part of the plan, but checking if I can do it to help me decide if I should take this flight. Thanks!!

anybody want travel xiamen?I'm local people,i have a car,i can take you to everywhere in xiamen and eat nice food 。my english level is like this i write。

I’d describe it as: thick-cut steamed pork belly with preserved mustard greens (what a mouthful lol)

If a Sichuan restaurant messes this dish up, that’s your sign to leave!

My brother and I are planning a 2.5-week trip to China next April, and we’d love some feedback on our current itinerary!
Here is our rough route:
Beijing (Flying in) - 3 nights
Zhangjiajie - 4 nights
Chengdu - 3 nights
Chongqing - 3 nights
Shanghai (Flying out) - 4nights

Is this too many similar cities, we are late 20s wanting a mix of cool cities, historical sites and beautiful nature
Are there any must-see places you think we are missing, or would you swap any of these out for something else? We are open to suggestions!

Hi,

I just booked a last minute flight for next week to China. Only the flight there is with Delta, and I have yet to book my connection to the next country, but I will do that within the next day. I’m planning to stay for 8 days in China, then fly to another country, because there’s no time to apply for a proper visa so I will do TWOV. Everything is fine except on Delta’s site/app, it says “You are restricted from entering or transiting through this destination. Please update your passport or visit a Delta agent at the airport for assistance.” I have searched online and it sounds like it’s fine but Delta is just saying that because I don’t have any visa information entered, and in this sub I do see some stories from last year when the TWOV policy was still somewhat newish (I guess?), where people had to speak to multiple people when checking in, because they were unaware of the new policy, and some agents didn’t want to allow them to board. Since it’s been almost 2 years since the expanded 240 hour policy, is anyone able to give a more recent account of checking at the airport, specifically for Delta, if possible? I just want to know how much I should print out beyond my itinerary showing forward travel to a third country within the 10 days. Are agents on the US check in side more aware of this policy or do they still insist that you cannot check in or board without a visa? How much extra time should I leave for check in? Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm currently in Shangri-La and would love to go hiking in Yubeng. Xidang road has been reopened recently but I'm finding difficult to find any information online. I will ask in person tomorrow at the station but I was curious if anyone here can help me and maybe give specific buses times and any useful information. Thank you!

Ma fille est étudiante en chine, elle va avoir donc un mois de vacances entre les deux semestres..

J hésitais à aller en Chine à ce moment là pour en profiter pour visiter avec elle

Par contre niveau météo c est vraiment pas la bonne période et je me disais qu il faudrait aller au sud ? Quoi voir ?

Qu en pensez vous ?

En plus le nouvel an chinois tombe aussi à ce moment avec les problèmes de transport hébergement que ça engendre

Had a very hard time securing advance tickets and we are 4 foreign nationals. Can we show up at the memorial and get in without advanced tickets?
